Is that Dennis in goal?
The new(!) ground (Bescot?) was one of the first new 'uns rather like Scunny's Glanford Park and is not that far from the old which is now a housing estate but has a plaque there. The new ground is almost right next to the M6/5 can't remember which.
If it was the game I was thinking of, it wouldn't be Dennis in goal- he'd gone to Bolton by then. In any case, as the goalie is wearing red socks, I'd say it was the Walsall 'keeper Ron Green.Rovers' keeper in that match was Steve Humphries, Glenn's older brother. Rest of the side was Billy Russell, Glenn Humphries, Steve Lister, Graham Cawthorne, Clive Wigginton, Daral Pugh, Gary Liddell, Stewart Mell, Glynn Snodin and Alan \"Animal\" Little. From memory Mell missed a hatful of chances. He was the Lewis Guy of his day- plenty of pace but not the best of finishers.
I was at that match too Standa. And the one at BV where we won 1-0. I had a mate at work who was a Palace fan - so we went to both. I thought at the time that we didn't deserve to lose overall. Not sure we deserved to win either mind! Still, I also was at that famous victory over Palace, the team of the eighties and Malcolm Allison and all, at BV before we went on to play Hull City and Tottenham in the League Cup. Bloody good game that one against the Fedora clad one. 2-1 wasn't it?Anyroad, what you doing back in Simon Bolivar land? Thought you'd retired to Norfolk or somewhere?! Met any interesting civic dignitaries yet? CheersBobG
